REMARKED ON THE STREETS.

John Klein: 81 heard some com.
plants last evening that the sham battle
was of too short duration. think the
country people who turned out so liber,
ally to visit our city and Camp McGill
should appreciate the fact that the az
ternoon was excessively hot, and the
militia, being composed Of young men
whose work is mostly indoors, and being
unused TO exposure to such scorchinl
sun as poured down yesterday, were
very liable to succumb to the heat. The
work demanded of them in the battle
was of the most trying kind, and / think
the officers were justified in cutting the
proceedings short. Had the afternoon
been cool the battle would no doub
have lasted full hour longer"

They Had Better Fight 1t Out.
BERLIN. July IA German resident
of CandrY, Department of Nord France,
writes to Mannheim journal that the
anti-German feeling IN Candry is terri
BILE, and that he and other Germans had
narrowly escaped being killed. He and
his countrymen were insulted in the
streets daily, and it was hardly safe to
venture out. He would be obliged to
move to st. Paeere, as he had no hopes
that the persecution would cease. The
Krunse Zeitung, referring to this letter,
says it is intolerable that Germans should
have to endure such treatment.

derstand that there is thus far and no
farther in the matter"

What has become of the report Of the
committee which was appointed at the regu-
lar session of the Legislature to investigate
the charges against Judge Fain, Hon. W. X.
Rankin and Mr.. James p Harrison in con
nection with the $4,000 donation to the
Marietta and North Georgia railroad, and
TO find out how that railroad managed to get
the Legislature to authorize the donation!
| Does the committee intend to make a re-
| port! If so it is about time that it was
showing signs of such an intention. The
| Legislature has been in session several
weeks and there has been ample time to
prepare the report.
| The people never did understand the rea-
sons which induced the Legislature to
donate $4,000 of their money to the Mari
eta and North Georgia railroad in the face
OF a constitutional prohibition, and they are
very anxious to hear what this investigat
ing committee has to say about it. They
have right to know all about the transac-
tion as they are particularly interested, and
the chances are that before it is finally dis
posed of they will get the bottom facts of it.
| 1t can hardly be possible that the commit
tee is waiting until the tail end of the ses-
| sion to make its report, so as to prevent any
discussion of it, or action upon it, 1t is
making grave mistake if that is its pur
pose. If it is not ready to report, let it
state why it is not, and when it will be
ready. Let it appear that there are no rea-
sons for delay which the public shouldn't
| know
Perhaps the effort which the Marietta and
| North Georgia railroad is making to get a
charter from Marietta to Atlanta has some
thing to do with the delay of the report.
| We do not know that it has, but in hunting
for reasons this is the only one that presents
itself. The chances ore that the road will
not get the charter in question, because the
| Legislature is not likely to do anything that
will cause a depreciation in the value
of the States property. The
investigating committee, therefore, need
not hold back its report from any fear of
damaging the roads chances of getting the
charter. The House has already twice re-
fused to grant the charter, and, if the COM
mittee waits for another refusal, it won't
stand much chance of getting in its report
at all
| If the report isn't ready let the committee
| get it ready at once. 1t might be
good idea for some member of the
Legislature to make an inquiry about
it for the purpose of finding out what is be
ing done with regard to it, and when it will
probably be presented. The interest in it
is too great for it to remain in the hands of
the committee much longer.

The Story of Anna.

A correspondent gives the Boston Globe
an account of wonderful achievement by
young woman who is partially blind Her
surname is suppressed, but for the purposes
of this article it will suffice to call her
Anna.
She was born of parents in humble cir
cumstances. When her mother died her
father failed to support her, and she was
placed in an alms-house. With the exception
| of a short period, she was in St. Johns
| Hospital at Lowell, Mass, from May, 1876,
| until 1880. In 1880 she was admitted to the
| Perkins Institution for the Blind, when
| surgical operation improved her sight.
| Afterward she was educated after the man
ner of the famous school of which she was
pupil.
In the summer of 1885 a Southern gentle
| man visited the Perkins Institution in search
of teacher for his daughter who was born
| blind, deaf and dumb. He employed Anna.
| She proceeded to fit herself for her difficult
| task upon the plan used in the education of
Laura Bridgeman. After being introduced
| to her work in her Southern home, she ac-
complished her task in six months. The
correspondent fails to state definitely what
she did for the young Southern girl, but
leaves the impression that she accomplished
even more than was done for Laura Bridge
man.
The story of Anna and her pupil teaches
an important lesson to people possessed Of
all their faculties and yet who do not use
their talents as they should. If young
woman, partially blind, can make second
Laura Bridgeman of girl born blind, deaf
and dumb, there is no excuse for failure to
make the best use of their talents upon the
part of other people. The young, especially,
may profit by the story. Patience and per-
severance will accomplish astonishing re-
suits, and with their aid nothing that is
within the reach of human attainment is
impossible to those whose faculties are I'M

A SllppestiOn.

The suggestion has been made and favor
ably received by those who have had their
attention called to it, that the county court
house be offered to the government as a site
for the public building. The location is an
excellent one for the post Office and it is
equally as good for the Federal Court. The
lot is large enough and it's situation offers
opportunities for architectural display. The
county, doubtless, could be induced to sell
it at a very reasonable price A new county
court house is greatly needed, and the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the site of the present
court house would go long way toward
erecting anew county building
The county may hesitate about parting
with the present court house site, unless it
can get another equally as satisfactory
There is another which it ought to have no
trouble in getting. 1t is the old cemetery
on South Broad street, that is now over
grown with weeds and bushes. This ceme-
terry, in its present unsightly condition, is a
blotch on the fair face of the city, and there
is no doubt that nine-tenthS of the people
would like to see it improved. 1t could be
made very pretty spot, and the county
| would undoubtedly make it so if it could
get the opportunity. If it cannot get
control of the entire cemetery at once it
ought to have no difficulty in getting control
of enough Of it for court house site. 1t
would doubtless be willing to keep the re-
mainder in good condition if a part were
! used for a county building. The GENE
terry is the most eligible site for a court
house probably in the CITY IL is near the
| jail and the barracks, and the court house
ought to be, for several reasons, near those
buildings. Let the County Commissioners
consider this suggestion, and they may find
| a way for adopting it,

Running the Other Way.

From the Galveston News (DenI.)
One of the most interesting features of the
political situation is the apparent enthusiasm
with which Democratic politicians who less than
year ago were abusing President Cleveland in
most emphatic language are now praising him.
There is nothing that can cause the average poll
tician to revise his opinions so completely, and
with such degree of promptness as to ascer-
tain that the popular current is running the
other way, and that he is about to get lodged
against the shore by an eddy.
